In addition to electrifying the B23, the company has several strategic partnerships to install its components and batteries in other aircraft. For example, the company is working with Pratt & Whitney Canada to develop the energy storage system for a hybrid-electric, 49-seat de Havilland Canada DHC-8 Q400 demonstrator.

It’s also working with CAE, a flight simulator provider with a network of flight schools, to convert its fleet of 80 Piper Archer aircraft to electric power. For that project, H55 will provide a larger version of the battery pack used in the B23 Energic. Safran, a French multinational aerospace and defense company, will supply the electric motor.
